Leah is joined by Rob D’Ippolito, former course superintendent, to talk about all things turf in Alberta - what kind of grasses we have here, what is involved in putting the course to bed in the fall, care over winter, opening in the spring, and teaching you about aeration and dethatching and why those are important. Every golfer needs to listen to appreciate the course they are playing on!

Leah visits with Chantell Grandy from the newly renamed Cattail Crossing Golf & Winter Club to learn more about all the exciting things going on there and what to expect this upcoming season. Then, she chats with Lesley McMahon from the Balmoral and Gull Lake Golf Clubs about her journey in the golf industry, and what she's done to help women in the business (hint: it's a lot, and it's great).

Leah is joined by Natasha Staniszewski, to discuss life after TSN, what life lessons she's learned throughout her career, what lies the internet says about her, baking flops, golf accomplishments, and answering your burning questions about what her future looks like. 

Leah takes some time to catch up with Calgary's Jaclyn Lee, who has been busy playing on the LPGA Tour after some downtime back home in November/December.
